[QUOTE="firesideguy, post: 1448843, member: 31982"]I received this awhile back at the Toll Facility I work at here in Austin, TX. This anomaly does not appear to be from wear. The coin appears to have been struck through grease on the motto "In God We Trust" as well as the mint mark. (My understanding is that all quarters are supposed to have MMs since 1980). I have tried to find evidence of an obliterated mint mart or even a strong hint of one in the proximity of where it normally would be. If I summon my Pareidolia skills I can almost make out a mint mark. The reeding is quite good for this circulated coin. I have no idea who or why someone put the V3 (PMD) on the obverse to the right of Washington's bust. The scans were obtained using an HP7410 @ 600% magnification (both normal and negative.)
